Wheel Upgrade

dno64

Hi, considering changing wheels to Crank Bros Iodine. Need some advice on configuration I need based on my current setup as there are various configurations to choose from. I have a cube stereo with Rockshox Revelation fork. Current wheels are DTswiss XPW 1600 with front and rear screw thru axles. Apologies if this seems like a stupid query but never changed wheels before. Any help appreciated thanks

What size axles though? That's the important bit. Your fork could be 15 or 20mm diameter and the rear could be 135 or 142mm wide.

I guess I can also be the first to say I'd never buy a Crank Brothers product that has moving parts, or in fact anything that was as integral to a bike as wheels.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ exactly what he said. Crank Brothers make lovely cockpit gear.... but the wheels are a bit dodgy reliabilty wise...... i've always ran Hope Hoops, or perhaps some Superstar's....

Or speak to a good wheelbuilder. Everything thing from light XC to DH wheels can be built.
